TeslaCrypt 2.0. How to remove? (Uninstall guide)

What does ransomware mean?

Ransomware is a malicious virus that usually enters victims’ computers via infectious e-mails including attachments. If the user opens such attachment, the virus gets executed on the victim’s computer and affects personal files including audio, video, image and text files. Ransomware viruses encrypt these files and ask for a ransom in order to get the files back. Unfortunately, paying the ransom does not necessarily guarantee that the user is going to get the personal files back.

TeslaCrypt releases another version of it

TeslaCrypt, which is known as a malicious computer virus and belongs to the dreadful category of ransomware, has developed another version of this virus – TeslaCrypt 2.0 (the previous version is described on this article – TeslaCrypt virus). The new version differs from its older ones because now TeslaCrypt virus changes the extension of the encrypted data to .VVV. Once the files are encrypted, TeslaCrypt places a .html file with instructions how to retrieve lost data. The text is copied from CryptoWall virus warning message. This virus asks to pay the ransom, which usually reaches up to 500$ via the bitcoin payment system.

TeslaCrypt 2.0 encrypts the files using AES-256-CBC algorithm. This virus uses ECHD algorithm to generate a different master key for every infected computer. Unfortunately, but security vendors claim that it is very hard or almost impossible to retrieve the encrypted files without paying the ransom. However, paying the ransom does NOT ensure that you are going to get your files back – you cannot trust these cyber-criminals who have stolen your private data from you. If you see the TeslaCrypt 2.0 alert message and if you cannot open your personal files anymore, you should immediately remove TeslaCrypt 2.0 malware in order to stop it from encrypting your files. You can do it with Reimage malware removal program.
